# Sort by metadata

 * I am hoping it is possible to sort or filter by the edit flow metadata. For example,
   if I specify an ‘editor’ for a post, I would like to be able to direct that editor
   to all the content labeled with their user name. Any help?

 * Being able to filter the Calendar by editorial metadata would be most useful.
   We have a case where news editors would like to view a calendar of upcoming posts
   sorted by when writers say they are expecting to deliver their copy (day and 
   hour). That would help the news editors manage the intraday editing/publishing
   schedule. We have created a custom editorial metadata item for copy ETA which
   let us have a workaround using the Story Budget (and the info is available a 
   click down on a Calendar item, of course) but it would be so much better to see
   it in a single Calendar view, as can be done for custom statuses.
